โA beautifully measured novel of life and line.โ โNew York Times Book Review
The Crossover is now a graphic novel!
โWith a bolt of lightning on my kicksย .ย .ย . The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. โCuz tonight Iโm delivering,โ raps twelve-year-old Josh Bell. Thanks to their dad, he and his twin brother, Jordan, are kings on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his bloodโheโs got mad beats, too, which help him find his rhythm when itโs all on the line.
See the Bell family in a whole new light through Dawud Anyabwileโs dynamic illustrations as the brothersโ winning season unfolds, and the world as they know it begins to change.
